Sixteen\nfeet of 6-gauge cable, 100% copper conductors, and 500-amp mechanic's clamps on both ends, made\nby East Penn Manufacturing, the same company behind Deka batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things separate a cable set that works from one that disappoints: conductor material and\ngauge. Copper carries current far better than the copper-clad aluminum found in most discount\nbooster cables, so more of the donor vehicle's amperage actually reaches the dead battery instead\nof turning into heat in the cable. Six gauge is thick enough to crank a car, pickup, van, or small\nequipment engine without the voltage sagging halfway through the attempt. If a set of cables has\never gotten warm in your hands during a jump, they were undersized for the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16-foot length does more work than people expect. Nose-to-nose parking is a luxury you\nrarely get, and a dead vehicle in a garage, a loading dock, or a tight lot usually has to be\nreached from an angle. Sixteen feet gets you there without rolling anything. The clamps are the\nmechanic's style with real jaw opening and copper-plated teeth, so they bite side terminals, top\nposts, and equipment studs alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Deka 00169 Jumper Cables Fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-volt passenger cars, pickups, vans, and SUVs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLight commercial trucks and single-battery box trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLawn tractors, zero-turns, generators, and small equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine and RV engines with standard 12V starting batteries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere this is the wrong set:\u003c\/strong\u003e if you're regularly jumping heavy diesel\nequipment, Class 8 trucks, or dual-battery machines, step up to 2-gauge or 1-gauge cables. Six\ngauge will do it in a pinch, but it isn't the right tool for that work.

Cheap cables go stiff as garden hose in a Northeast Ohio parking\nlot, and wrestling them onto a battery post at 10 degrees in Wickliffe or Mentor is how people\nend up calling a tow truck instead. These stay workable. A zippered storage bag comes with them,\nso they roll up and stay in the trunk instead of tangling around the jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDeka 00169\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 feet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWire Gauge\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 gauge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConductor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% copper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eClamp Rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500 amp mechanic's clamps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack \/ orange\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-40°C to 70°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIncluded\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStorage bag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEast Penn Manufacturing (Deka)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLocal Pickup in Northeast Ohio\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable at our Willoughby counter, serving Lake County and Cleveland's east side from\nEastlake and Painesville out to Euclid, Mayfield Heights, and Chesterland.
